Halo: The Master Chief Collection Update 8 Released April 21, 2015

Since it’s launch, Halo: The Master Chief Collection has been a colossal disappointment with its wide array of bugs, multiplayer connection issues, and the months of waiting that players have had to endure for 343 Industries to finally fix them.  Today, Microsoft and 343 Industries have released the eighth patch for the game, and boy does it have a lot of fixes in it.  You can read the official patch notes here.

343 Industries promises that the promised gifts for the game’s early adopters (the full Halo 3: ODST single player campaign and a remake of the Halo 2 multiplayer map Relic) will be launching next month with the game’s NEXT title update.  Is this it?  Is the game finally stable now?

If you’ve previously had the most recent version of the game installed, you should be looking at a download of slightly over 1.6 GB.  You must install this patch if you plan to play your game online.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection is out now exclusively on the Xbox One.
